This is a group work consist of 3members.. me(pupu) , kevin and mooiz. Its been great working with them! haha. Basically, these are some pictures taken on the site itself before we actually started off with the site analysis and generating conceptual ideas. This is basically the first stage of the project , include some analysis and also few proposed ideas. Do have a look and perhaps can drop some comments ;)

Dance center @ bukit jalik park

These are some of the pictures of the stuffs i have been working on for my design project.The intention of the project is to design a dance center where the site allocated was the bukit jalil park.
Well, the idea of this center is to create a dance center which will evoke the curiosity within the site and at the same time compliment the views by having a strong axis as part of the design.

views showing the shadow and light.

the element of having a strong axis which can create a focus point on a view or create a sense of journey.
